    But you just said you don’t know if this was done by CIA, if CIA helped in the coup the people were doing or if they had no effect at all.

          The original statement was:

          If the CIA helped that’s fine, people like that should not be in power.

          I took issue with that stance. It doesn’t matter whether or not Euromaidan was a coup to do that.

          Condoning CIA coups if “the people” wanted it basically gives the CIA carte blanche to coup whoever they want, as long as they manufacture consent enough.

            You talked about a coup by the CIA. They’re talking about CIA helping. Two different things. Like you said, we don’t know the extent of their involvement

              So it’s also ok to condone the FBI murdering people if we don’t know that the FBI killed MLK?

                  They said that it would have been ok if they helped. That conditional statement doesn’t depend on whether or not they did intervene.
